The Aloha Browser is a new browser that promises to be fast, user-friendly, and packed with features. We’ll introduce you to the browser and cover its many features, giving you a final verdict on whether it’s worth using. ..

What Is the Aloha Browser?

Aloha is a web browser available on the Google Play Store and App Store. It has had over 5 million downloads and has a rating of 4.4 stars. There is also a desktop PC version currently in early access. ..

Aloha uses a search engine that is based on Google, but without the data collection and tracking. ..

What Are the Main Features of Aloha?

Aloha is packed with features. It offers web search, bookmarks, and the typical browser features. Here, we’ll take a deep dive and explain each of Aloha’s unique features, how they work, and how good they are. ..

Simple, Easy-to-Use Interface

The user interface is essentially the same as any browser. There’s a search bar and a series of quick links. As you scroll down, there’s a list of suggested content such as recent news and a few non-targeted advertisements (in the free version). ..

The VPN icon in the search bar activates the VPN and the QR reader.

Free Unlimited VPN 

The main selling point of Aloha is the free VPN that can be turned on with a tap of a button.

The VPN provides a strong layer of security through military-strength encryption (256-bit). It also lets you access sites that may be blocked in your region, something many users find useful.

As a VPN user, you should be careful about the company you are using. AlohaVPN is one of the few VPNs that I am confident in. They claim to not log your activity, which is something I have yet to verify.

  1. Open the VPN app on your device.
  2. Tap the three lines in the top left corner of the app window.
  3. Select “Settings.”
  4. Under “VPN,” tap “Activate.”
  5. Enter your VPN’s activation code, and tap “OK.” ..

Passcode or Fingerprint Lock

  1. Open the app and sign in with your account.
  2. Tap on the three lines in the top left corner of the screen to access your settings.
  3. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and tap on “Passcode Lock.”

AdBlock

Aloha mobile has built-in AdBlock to prevent many ads from appearing, and cutting the ad network code and trackers to prevent them from building a user profile or targeting you.

Aloha is a free app that still features ads, but the premium version offers a completely ad-free experience.

AdBlock is a browser extension that allows you to block ads and other intrusive content on websites. ..

Tracking Protection

Aloha is a new browser that promises to protect your privacy by not tracking your activity online. Other browsers like Google and Safari track a lot of your activity, so Aloha is a good choice if you want to keep your privacy. ..

Aloha does send diagnostic and error reports by default, but it’s opt-out. Frustratingly, by default, Aloha also allows personalized adverts with their “trusted partners.” For a browser that claims to put privacy and security above all else, this is an odd move. ..

You can opt-out of these tracking services by visiting the websites of the companies that provide them and clicking on the “opt-out” button. ..

Support for Downloading Files and Video

Aloha is a great browser app that lets you download files and videos to your device.

Private File Vault

The Aloha browser comes with an integrated file and download manager that makes it easy to manage downloaded files. With this, you can keep your downloads safe and secure by locking specific folders with a password.

Media Player with Chromecast Support

Aloha is a media player that can play movies, music, virtual reality content, and supports Chromecast functionality. ..

Premium Features

Aloha offers a few extra features which improve the overall browsing experience. These include: -A faster loading time, thanks to its optimized design; -An easier-to-use search bar that lets you quickly and easily find what you’re looking for; and -A more comfortable browsing experience, thanks to its optimized layout and graphics. ..

A premium VPN service always keeps you connected, with faster servers in more countries. No ads means you can focus on your privacy and security. Advanced file management lets you parallel download files for faster loading, and support for ZIP files makes transferring large files a breeze. ..

Aloha Premium is a monthly or yearly subscription service that costs $2.99/month or $24.99/year. ..

Downsides of the Aloha Browser

The Aloha browser is a decent choice if you want to keep your data private and secure. But, there are a few things that could be better. For example, it doesn’t have a great privacy policy and it can be difficult to find the right information about the company’s privacy practices.

The browser is a little slower than many of its competitors, like Chrome or Firefox. But, the lack of speed is primarily due to the VPN connection. Aloha isn’t open source. If you’re an average user, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. However, many experts recommend open source software as it allows you to review exactly what the program is doing and whether it’s as private and secure as the developers claim. As of version 3.10.2, Aloha actually uses four trackers despite claiming not to. However, you can opt-out of Personalized Ads under Privacy which may disable at least two of these trackers. ..

Is Aloha Right For You?

Overall, Aloha is a decent mobile web browser that offers more privacy and security than other options. However, there are many other browsers that offer similar features and protections, such as DuckDuckGo, Privacy Browser, Bromite, and Brave Browser. ..
